AngesQuebec receives $750.000 grant to create an angel network (8)

February 5th, 2008 · by Heri · entrepreneurship

angesquebec AngesQuebec announced a $750.000 funding from the Québec government which will be used to support the creation of an angel investors network in the province. Angels investors willing to invest capital and expertise in early-stage companies will be invited to join the networks as members, and they will get to review collectively potential projects.

One of their upcoming events is for instance Capital Innovation, which is a networking event gathering entrepreneurs and investors, and where “selected startups” get to present their product to a panel.

As I see it, AngesQuebec is very similar to the Maple Leaf Angels, an angel network in Toronto. StartupNorth has a whole series of articles detailing the process, which I highly recommend if you are planning to reach to angel investors.

AngesQuebec is a greatly need organisation needed in Quebec that would in theory spurr technological innovation in Montreal and throughout the province. I would love to see more transparency though coming from this organization and maybe some awareness about what other people are doing. Capital Innovation for me is just a StartupCamp combined with Founders & Funders, but with more control and without the camp spirit.
